Wrenches, I have a customer who wants to add 12 more BP Solar Integra modules to an existing system. Does anyone have a supply or stash of these modules with mounting hardware? Thanks and you can reply off list: leebris...@standardsolar.com Lee -- Lee Bristol NABCEP Certified Solar Designer/I

[RE-wrenches] White Paper on on the affects of a "snow, melt, refreeze process" (no pun intended)

Wrenches, Has anybody come across an analysis of the potential damage to a flat roof from snow on solar modules melting to form an ice layer on the roof and then forming subsequent layers as more snow melts or slides down the modules? If the sheet gets thick enough then the next bit of water coul

I'd say that at this point, with all the old solar systems, flat roofs, and snow we get in New Mexico and Colorado, that if it hasn't been a problem, it won't be a problem. It definitely is not going to lift the panels; worst case is that it could build up and get past flashings, which is a prob

Lee I worked on a job on Washington pass in Washington state about 12 years ago, near the border of Canada in the North Cascades wilderness area. Design snow load was specified 200 #/sq ft as I recall (far greater than the forces on a module at 120 mph wind load) and the Cascades are known for w
